1975 Topps #230 Jim Hunter – A High-Grade Tribute to "Catfish" in an MVP Year

By 1975, Jim "Catfish" Hunter had firmly cemented his place as one of baseball's premier pitchers. Coming off an MVP-caliber 1974 season, where he went 25-12 with a 2.49 ERA, Hunter claimed the AL Cy Young Award and helped lead the Oakland A’s to their third consecutive World Series title. A dominant force on the mound, Hunter’s unmatched combination of control and poise earned him a place among the game’s all-time greats. His move to the Yankees in 1975 as a marquee free agent only added to his legendary status.

This 1975 Topps #230 Jim Hunter, graded PSA 9, is a stunning example from one of Topps’ most iconic sets. The bold and colorful borders, known for their tendency to show wear, are nearly flawless, with rich, vibrant hues that make this card pop. The centering is excellent, and the corners are razor-sharp, giving the card incredible visual appeal. The surface is clean and glossy, with a crisp, vivid image of Hunter in his A’s uniform, capturing the height of his dominance.
